Mirabilis multiflora, also known as the Desert Four O’Clock, is a spectacular plant that doesn’t need additional water once established, and it blossoms continuously from early summer until fall. Learn about it on the Zesty Garden this Thursday at 10:00, along with bombardier beetles and trap-jaw ants with Diane Alston, and the industry of nursery-grown tomatoes in Canada on Petals and Prose.
